100% Licensing, just like Smalltalk, Rebol, ADA, D at the beginning and countless other proprietary languages.
Microsoft tech stack is the exception, but it's because Microsoft controls Windows the OS.
- pjmlp 5y agoSame thing on Apple and Google platforms, not only Microsoft. That is why learned to stick with platform vendor stacks instead of third party languages. As long as the platform remains relevant the languages will stick around, e.g. Objective-C and Android Java, they might be "deprecated" but removing them would just kill the whole platform.
- ncmncm 5y agoFor identical reasons, I learned to stick with portable, more or less standardized languages, and never get sucked into proprietary walled gardens. People trying to keep up on new "frameworks" released every two years are wasting their short lifetimes chasing phantoms.
